Statement:
A means of egress provides a continuous and structured path from any point in a building to a public way, consisting of exit access, exit, and exit
discharge, while a means of escape offers an alternate way out that does not meet the strict requirements of a means of egress, but still facilitates
evacuation during emergencies like fires.

Conclusions:
I. A means of egress is a more strictly defined evacuation path compared to a means of escape, as it includes specific components like exit access, exit,
and exit discharge.
II. A means of escape cannot be used for evacuation in emergencies because it does not conform to the standards of a means of egress.
